Between the Sheets® first bespoke collection “Andromeda” from designer Layla L’obatti.

These one-of-a-kind pieces are constructed of delicate silk, tulle net, and gilded lace all juxtaposed with brass & copper tube and cord, and crystals from Swarovski.

For the lookbook, Between the Sheets teamed up again with alluring author & relationship coach Arden Leigh to bring L’obatti’s vision to light. Together they traveled to the beaches and vistas of Iceland, a magical landscape of fire & ice.

“Drawing inspiration from the copper age and the power of fire to shape continents and landscapes like Iceland, I was inspired with this collection to explore the shape-shifting power love has,” said L’obatti.

“Humans have learned to shape the landscape around us, but the landscape of our emotional world and hearts remains elusive. The power society has to shape us emerges in the earliest stories of love, like the story of the Andromeda, woman chained to a rock as sacrifice to a sea monster and saved by a hero, Perseus.”

Sheer gossamer designs stand in stark relief against the backdrop of volcanic rock & sand, streaming light, and chilly winds with Arden drawing upon her experience to channel a fierce new version of Andromeda, a woman who in this modern reimagining of the mythic story transforms into her own heroine.

“Unlike the ancient story of Andromeda the modern woman, Arden, is not helpless, her sacrifice and salvation is self-selected,” said L’obatti. “The strength and illusion of ease required of women in the modern art of seduction can be isolating. Shaping our outward superficial image is relatively easy because like the first metals, our outward presentation is malleable. These changes hover delicately at the surface, mere flirtation. The real story of transformative love is Andromeda’s vulnerability, pain, and ultimately internal strength, reflecting that the patina of experience is not just skin deep but an elementally transformative force.”

Note from Designer:

Andromeda was a collection that I designed with no intent to mass produce, many of these pieces would not be able to be made in the commercial production facilities we use as there is too much hand detailing, and to be honest when I am designing commercially things like hanger appeal, storage, laundering, and closures all become part of the design process. For me this was an excercise in exploring the beauty that I could make when released from the shackles of those commercial necessities. So with all of that in mind I hope you’ll understand why we won’t have product pages for any of the items here, I may release a small cut of them that is made in house in the future. For those that might not have ordered bespoke before a few things to consider below:

Due to the custom nature of bespoke service a 50% deposit is required to secure order and No Returns or Exchanges will be available as garments will be made to your unique specifications.

Since they are completely bespoke prices are based on materials (silk, tulle) and design selected (labor) and whether selection involves additional handwork like crystal embellishments

With attached metal elements all pieces would require special laundering/dry cleaning

All pieces have Real Copper and Bronze metal detailing so would not be suitable for those with metal sensitivities/allergies.

All pieces will be made to order & will be made & shipped on a first come first serve basis, we'll announce if select items are made to ship immediately.

If Bespoke ordering is not for you keep scrolling for our luxe silk ranges below, featuring hand cut appliqued and inset lace and fine details.
